Before you even launch Flower you've read everything you're going to be told in words about how to play it: "Tilt Controller to Soar. Press Any Button to Blow. Relax, Enjoy." It might not be quite so concise as Pong's "Avoid Missing Ball for High Score", but Flower's instructions are still unusually succinct and, like those displayed on the side of Nolan Bushnell's arcade cabinet, they are given outside of the game experience, in the PlayStation 3 XMB.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Flower is a gorgeous, well-crafted and relaxing game, but I have to say, I don’t get the massive love towards it. Its “story”, if you can call it that, is far from deep and thought-provoking as some say it is, its duration is borderline insulting for its asking price, and it just doesn’t motivate you to replay it after you’re done with its half a dozen levels. Sadly, Flower isn’t as meaty as it should be. A fair point in a way, given it’s a game about plants…"
Really?? Rock on. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. And this is a terrific preview from Eurogamer. Whether I agree or disagree with them, I always appreciate the higher caliber of writing they offer.
LBP and games like this make me want a PS3, KZ2 looks really good but I have been playing FPS for years now, prefer somthing I can play with the kids.
this and Noby Noby Boy cant come soon enough, need some fun smaller games after overdosing on Fallout 3 and the likes.. :)
